This instrument is a player piano with three violins inside. Each violin has one string and several mechanical "fingers" to stop the strings along the neck. A round bow circles all the violins. The violins play by being pressed against the spinning bow. The player piano part is normal.
At the clockwork musical instrument museum in Utrecht.
